Le Choix de l'École triggers and accompanies a commitment to teaching, in order to collectively build the school of tomorrow.

of collèges and lycées were short of at least 1 teacher at the start of the 2023 school year (SNES-FSU, 2023)

of teachers feel they perform tasks for which they need more training (Cour des Comptes, 2021)

less chance for a pupil from a disadvantaged background to enter general secondary school with the same grades (CNESCO, 2016)

Solution

Le Choix de l'école has demonstrated that it's possible to attract committed people to priority educationthrough an innovative program that supports young graduates and working people to retrain in teaching.

To ensure the success of these teachers and their pupils, the association trains and supports them during their first two years in elementary school, middle schools or vocational high schools in priority neighborhoods.

This support of nearly 300 hours of training includes:

- A month-long summer campus in July to prepare for the start of the new school year.

- Disciplinary follow-up provided by tenured teachers from the French national education system.

- Cross-disciplinary training on specific topics such as school dropout, guidance and classroom management.

- Tailor-made support to address all concerns related to the profession.

At the end of the program, each teacher receives support to help them refine and realize their post-program career plans, whether they wish to continue in teaching or join another sector.
